Geeks.com, known for their cheap laptops, sent us the Acer Aspire One for a review. Thom wrote a review of the popular laptop recently, but here's my take on it. Update: After this review went up, and within two hours, I installed Ubuntu 8.10 (time is 4:10 AM here, couldn't sleep until I had Ubuntu in there). Using this very nice tutorial, I have everything up and running.

Eugenia is a whiner slash perfectionist and that's why she's the perfect reviewer.
Agreed. I wonder if there's a company out there that makes money out of telling other companies precisely in which ways their products suck...
I'm also sort of relieved that the review was pretty positive because I just bought an Aspire One (the hdd version).

Eugenia is a whiner slash perfectionist and that's why she's the perfect reviewer. Every corporation should have a team of Eugenia's to criticise their stuff so it gets better.
It's not a coincidence that überwhiner slash perfectionist Steve J. of Apple is credited with lots of perfectionist products that I personally don't buy but can understand why many others think they rule.
It's too bad Eugenia that you don't have the time or guts anymore to allow comments on your blog, which I had always thought was the fun part of a blog, but anyway, if you haven't sold your soul to the devil (I mean Acer) yet I might even consider buying an Acer 'netbook' (god I hate that word) after this review (some day), now that it seems it's built rather well and all. :-)
What I mean is I'd always been under the impression that Acer's build quality is appalling, and much of what I've seen confirms that.
